Woman Makes Owl To Scare Magpies, Accidentally Invents New Bird Religion
Woman Makes Owl To Scare Magpies, Accidentally Invents New Bird Religion originally appeared on PetHelpful. In what might be the most unintentionally hilarious DIY fail of the year, a woman's attempt to scare away the magpies outside her home with a handmade, paper mache owl turned into an unexpected bird-worshipping ceremony. TikTok user sarahjane72 shared the video, capturing the moment local magpies gathered around her homemade 'owl deterrent', and appeared to revere it as some sort of glowing green eyed, feathered deity. Then, they engaged in what appeared to be a spooky ceremony of some sort which just makes me laugh harder the more times I watch it! Heeeeellllpppp! It's so funny!!! Those magpies look so reverent! Are they like... bowing? OMG. Too much! Autumn_Flowers said, 'I think they have mistaken it for a dead magpie and are upset' while Leftovercheese lamented that, 'Everyone but me is in a cult these days.' Another is like me: 'I have tears running down my face.' LOLOL! Do Owls Really Scare Magpies? Owls are natural predators of many smaller bird species, including magpies. Their presence usually serves as a visual deterrent, warning other birds to stay away from the area. Science backs it up–sometimes. That's why humans have been propping fake owls up everywhere from gardens to rooftops for years. But here's the catch: Birds: especially magpies, are not dumb. Experts warn that if you leave a fake owl sitting still, they will quickly figure out it's a total fraud. It's recommended to regularly move the decoys or rotate them in order to maintain their effectiveness. Did Sarah's magpies believe her ruse for a minute? Errr, oh no. I'm laughing again as I'm picturing their weird little ceremony.I don't think they bought into it. What did Sarah's magpies do? They skipped the fear part, formed a cult, and left the internet howling. The owl is their leader now. You can't fight nature, especially when it decides to be hilarious. I'm not adept at these things, but I just might take a shot at crafting my own bird leader. Perhaps I'll shoot for a demigod to start.

When games get hungry: The oddest food partnerships in gaming history
You might have spotted Pikachu on shelves in the grocery store recently, specifically in the soup section. And no, the soup is made out of Pikachu, even if the taste might be electric — it's a partership between Campbell's and Pokémon aimed at kids. In addition to Pikachu, you'll also spot characters like Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Eevee, Jigglypuff, Mew, and Mewtwo. Campbell's has added another layer to the marketing campaign by making certain Pokémon cans harder to find than others. The kicker? The pasta in the soup is shaped like the characters. It's a fun way to get kids more interested in soup, but it isn't the first time a video game mascot has appeared as part of some of your favorite snacks. Gaming and food have a long history of partnerships and collaborations, including unexpected crossovers that resulted in the birth of inside jokes and weird bits of gaming history. Doom, breakfast cereal, and Chex Quest In 1997, certain brands of breakfast cereal came with a floppy disk inside the box. On that disk was a conversion of Doom, specifically The Ultimate Doom, that was aimed at children up to nine years old. Don't worry, the violence was toned way down, and rather than shooting enemies, you used cereal-themed power-ups to win. It's an odd bit of trivia, and I can vaguely remember finding one of the disks in a box of cereal when I was just a kid. You took the role of the Chex Warrior, a man wearing a chex-shaped suit of armor. A bit goofy, yes, but effective; after its release, Chex Quest pushed sales of its namesake cereal by more than 295%. If you're interested in playing it, you don't have to seek out fossilized cereal boxes. The game was re-released a few years ago and is available to play for free. Burger King and Sneak King In the mid-2000s, Burger King released a series of three games: Sneak King, Big Bumpin', and PocketBike Racer. The games aren't great, but they are kind of hilarious to play. Sneak King is a stealth-based title that tasks the player with delivering food to hungry people, but doing so without being caught. There's a surprising amount of depth given what the games are. Sneak King ended up among the top 10 best-selling games of 2006 and has since become something of a meme among collectors. Burger King's gold-plated Pokémon cards In 1999, amid the height of the Pokémon zeitgeist in the United States, everyone wanted to get a piece of the action. Burger King thought of one of the more creative ways of doing so: releasing 23-karat gold-plated Pokémon cards. The cards came in a plastic Pokéball case and were only $2 when purchased with a value meal, and they sold like hotcakes. As you might guess, the gold plating was almost too thin to be considered gold, but if you're old enough to remember those days — and happen to have any of the toys left over — you might want to check what they're worth. Collectors are paying up to $200, depending on the condition and the card. Avoid the Noid Perhaps the most classic food tie-in on this list, Domino's 'Avoid the Noid' campaign is one of the first advertising campaigns focused on video games. Avoid the Noid was not only a slogan, but a video game released in 1989. The Noid was a nuisance that sought to destroy and ruin pizzas, and you played as a delivery boy who had to dodge the Noid's attempts to yank the pie right out of your hands. It doesn't stop there, either. In 1990, a game called Yo! Noid caught public attention, but it's just a reskin of Kamen no Ninja Hanamaru, a ninja-themed platformer from Capcom. The games are available to play online through emulators, but be warned: Yo! Noid is a tough one. You might consider it the first (and only) pizza-themed Soulslike. Ever wanted to date Colonel Sanders? In a move that could really only have originated in Japan, developer Psyop launched a free title on Steam called I Love You, Colonel Sanders. It's a dating sim set in a culinary school where the player is tasked with winning the heart of KFC's main man, although he's been hunked-up a bit from his traditional, friendly-uncle appearance. The game is surprisingly well-rated, featuring Colonel Sanders and numerous other anime-style characters. The art looks good, and it's weird enough to be finger-lickin' good. Recommended Videos Interested? Don't worry, we don't judge. I Love You, Colonel Sanders! is still available to play for free on Steam, so give it a whirl this weekend. Gaming has gone mainstream, and it's not unusual to see popular titles like Call of Duty partner with energy drink companies. But back in the early days, when it was something of a niche hobby with less broad appeal? The marketing campaigns were charming, silly, and fun, and it's something I wish we could see more of (and the Campbell's Soup campaign, with its Pikachu-shaped pasta, is exactly the kind of thing that would make me snag a can off the shelf).
